Well I swapped from a MY02 WRX to a '99 Porsche 996 Carerra - I've had it a year and its been really awsome - I looked back to start with - but not for long.

Until....



Yep my car was parked in the work car park whilst I was away on business in the USA - I returned on sun at 11am to be greeted with Buncefield has gone up - oh yeah and so's your car.

More pics when I get on site - which wont be for a while.

Completely dischuffed - so its time to return the fold.

Gutted.

What do you do about the insurance,do you claim off the oil companys or off your own?

Trumble

Its comming off my own to start with - I need another car.

I'll let the insurers reclaim from Total - and I'll look to reclaim the xs.

Its a bloody mess - I'd just has the wheels repainted.

Best of luck finding a new toy to replace it.

Trumble; Im going to buck the trend by not being "gutted for you"... Its a shame though; I hope that the companys insurance pays out a reasonable sum in settlement. No one seems to have commented on the state of the car; it doesnt appear to have been damaged by fire from what I can see; so all of that damage must have been caused by the explosion! What state youd have been in had you been crossing that carpark at the time doesnt bear thinking about does it?

I'm sorry, you're turning into quite the smoothy.

Trumble

Cheers peeps - I was on a plane - got off at 11am to get 4 txt messages from a variety of people - called the wife to get the bad news.

Looks like the insurance company have come good - just waiting for the cheque.

I'll claim the xs and contents from my company - who will I feel sure claim it from the oil company.

So scooby do here I come - and you can get a lot for the price of a 99 porker

I've seen some more pics - its a shame as the alloys had just been refurbed and they looked like new.

Cheers all,

So how many Picasso's did you tell the ins company were in the boot then?

Swen6

Not nice to find your pride and joy a little worse for wear, but look form the point the explosion did that to a car what the hell would it have done to a person

TopBanana

I'm truly gutted to see this. In fact, I think I might go and slash my wrists.

tyresqueal

now that i've seen the effects of detonation i'll be keeping my boost down!

seriously though, shame about the porker - what a waste of an engineering masterpiece.

hope your new ride puts a smile back on your face!
